theScore Bet Missouri Review
theScore Bet launched in Missouri on December 1, 2025 as part of PENN Entertainment’s portfolio. The brand is built on the legacy of theScore, one of the most popular sports news and scores apps in North America — and that editorial DNA shows in the product.
Welcome bonus details
theScore Bet’s promotional menu in Missouri tends to rotate frequently rather than offer one large fixed welcome bonus. Check the site for current first-bet offers, deposit matches, or bet-and-get promotions. Penn Play members may receive enhanced offers tied to their existing accounts.
App and product experience
The theScore Bet app is modern and refreshingly uncluttered. The standout feature is the integrated news, scores, and stat feed — you can read game previews, check live scores, and place bets without ever leaving the app. The same-game parlay builder is solid and the bet slip is fast.
Penn Play loyalty
theScore Bet is integrated with Penn Play, the loyalty program shared across PENN Entertainment’s retail casino portfolio. Tier credits from sportsbook activity carry over to participating casinos.
Markets and odds
Full coverage of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, college sports (with Missouri restrictions), tennis, golf, UFC, and soccer. Odds are competitive on major US sports, particularly NFL and NHL.
Banking and withdrawals
Minimum deposit is $10. Withdrawals via PayPal and bank transfer clear in 24-72 hours.
Who should sign up?
theScore Bet suits bettors who already use the theScore news app, want a clean modern interface, or are part of the Penn Play ecosystem.

Why is theScore Bet rated lower than DraftKings or FanDuel?
